Just call it -traditional-init

What is this thing about creating supposedly funny or original names for technical things (a branch is not a brand). Just makes things hard to remember.

And look at:

Are you really telling me than not one of the countless existing forks of debian wants to stay with traditional init and you could help there? would that not increase the chances of continued support. Or is this just about being the boss of something?

* including 3D printing,
Nope. wont change my life or work. For the things I am involved in it is either too expensive, or already relevant.

* embedded systems
Nope. changed my life already. I saw how the analog chips which we used in the end of the 90s for signal processing became obsolete and unavailable/expensive (-> Burr Brown being bough by TI) Not a new tech at all.

* and evolving Web APIs
Oh yeah, because that going to mache such a big difference

Being a web programmer is the same as brein able to enter University?

I mean dont get me wrong, i appreciate people who early in their life know what to to and do that well, even if there is is no academic education involved.

But somehow i dount that such people will be the main participants in such "bootcamps".

Fascist? Nope.

Your Employer provides with tools and guidelines. if something is not explicitly allowed, then it is your responsibility to check if it is according to the rules of the company. Giving up the control over data usually is not acceptable.

If you use tools which essentially give up the control over the data to any third party (as you do in evernote), possibly even with terms and conditions which have zero accountability of the service provider, just because you like a service because it is "practical and free".

These "practical and free" services would be where i as attacker would start targeted attacks.

Let's clearly separate the cases

a) You are an institution which is powerful/rich enough to build (AFAIU they were talking about the raw metals here) operate a isotope enrichment plant, breeder reactors, and compose these to a *working* nuclear device (Ahem even countries like North Korea or Iran take a while for this): It's very likely that you were able to contact sellers of these required equipment without the internet (and doing so via the internet may get you on a list of the NSA to watch)

b) You are a terrorist organisation with a moderate amount (~0.5-1B Dollar), but no backing infrastructure: Good luck in powering up the centrifuges without anybody noticing; you have to buy the plutonium directly.
